Appendix: Keyboard shortcuts
Learning the shortcuts for tools and commands you use most often can save you time. Want to
customize them? Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts. While there, click Summarize to export a
list updated with your own shortcuts.
Tools Each group of tools in the Tools panel shares a shortcut. Press Shift+ the letter key
repeatedly to cycle through hidden tools. This list is based on the Essentials workspace; other
workspaces may change tool groupings and keyboard shortcuts, so if a shortcut isn’t working for
you, check which workspace is active.
